What energy is used when an archer shoots an arrow into a target?

The archer draws the bow, hard work which stores energy in the bow. When the arrow is released, that energy is quickly converted into kinetic energy, which allows the arrow to fly through the air at speed and penetrate the target.


How do you use the word shoot in a sentence?

Example sentence - She was taught to shoot the arrow towards the target.


An archer stands 40 m from a target if the arrow is shot horizontally directly at the target with a velocity of 90 ms how far below her target will the arrow hit?

At 90 m/s, it takes the arrow (40/90) seconds to traverse the horizontal distance to the target.In that time, the vertical free-fall distance due to gravity is [ 1/2 g t2 ] =(1/2) (9.8) (40/90)2 = 0.968 meter = 96.8 centimeters (rounded)


What kind of energy will be stored in the arrow when it is fired?

The arrow has combustible material coated on certainrestrictedarea of the arrow. This materials in coated form has highest potentialenergydue to stronger cohesive forces. when thismaterialswith stronger cohesive forces catch fire the molecules or the particles of the coatedmaterialgain higherkineticenergyby weakening cohesive forces. thekineticenergyof the particles faces resistanceand thus the kineticenergyis noted as frictional forcesbecausethe flame which withhigherkineticenergymoves forward faces resistance and flame may not go to more and more distance from the arrow area. Thus the cohesive and frictional forces do operate in flame movement or it could be termed as Friccohesity is highly operative factor for converting potentialenergyinto the kineticenergyof thematerialsin flame phenomenon.


How do you find the cumulative effect of two or more forces acting on an object?

The simple answer is that you can just sum the forces. To make the math work out, though, you'll need to set up a set of axes (probably already provided) and split the forces into their x and y (and z, if applicable) components using trigonometry. SOH-CAH-TOA. The forces can then be summed.

How do you point your arrow up and still hit the target?

Simple physics. You have the same target using your x axis (which would be your aim from left to right) Though in three dimensions with constant gravity your arrow will reach the ground eventually. If your target is far enough away you will need to point your arrow up to counter the effects of gravity.
